From ":help local-function":

There are only script-local functions, no buffer-local or
window-local functions.

However, you _can_ control how and when your function is executed.
For example, mappings and autocommands can be local to a buffer.
You can also have your function look at the current buffer name or
some other property of the buffer and decide whether to continue
executing or to return immediately.

How are you executing your function and what is it doing to affect
files or buffers that you don't want it to?
